Lauch image difficulties iOS 9

I've specified a good launch image for an AIR for iOS app (working in Flash Pro CS5.5), packaged the app and put it on my iPad. App launches with a black screen and apparently hangs.

I think that, for iOS 9, there's some requirement for a specification of the launch image to be included in the application descriptor file. Is that correct?

Is there any decent documentation of how to include that specification, or can someone here help me with that?

Does any version of Flash after CS 5.5 write this automatically into the application descriptor?

And, in fact, does Flash handle the writing of the app. descriptor or does the AIR SDK? If the latter, shouldn't AIR v19 be doing that?

thanks in advance, c.u.

Hi Umanoff‌,

If you can see the launch image in the app I believe it is not an issue related to launch image. I would like to see error you are getting with the app you are testing.

Requesting you to send a sample app to chhetriATadobeDOTcom such that I can debug and probably help you.

Splash screens are added in the General tab of iOS settings. They are not added to the app descriptor file. Here's a list of the names the files need to be:

Default~iphone.png

Default@2x.png

Default-Landscape-414w-736h@3x~iphone.png

Default-414w-736h@3x~iphone.png

Default-375w-667h@2x~iphone.png

Default-568h@2x.png

Default-568h@2x~iphone.png

Default-Landscape@2x~ipad.png

Default-Landscape~ipad.png

That's the list for a landscape app, there are other names for portrait apps. The ones for iPad are Default-Landscape~ipad.png and Default-Landscape@2x~ipad.png. You might get away without the "~ipad" part.

    Thank you, Colin. I'm not quite sure why my app hangs up on a black screen on iOS 9. I'm testing on an iPad Air2 and this configuration -- this particular app, this launch image and this iPad -- has not been problematical on prior iOS versions. Have you heard of this particular problem with iOS 9?

    I think there were recent fixes in AIR to take care of some iOS 9 startup issues. It's worth being on the one that was released a couple of weeks ago.
